The Thing That Makes Me Smile Poem by Eloida Capuno

The Thing That Makes Me Smile

Rating: 3.0


the thing that makes me smile
is not the thing itself
but the thoughts
i gather with it

like the cherry fruit
on ice cream top
without it the ice cream
is just that
a cold oozing sticky
mixture you love to lick

but that thing
the cherry on top
gives something else
for the mouth to play with
and it makes me smile

Ah the idea that component is greater than the whole. Like when I was a kid the toy in the cereal was more important than the cereal. Or the anticipation of a holiday trip being more exciting than the journey. Or Golden Rough chocolate where the crunchy toasted coconut was more important than the chocky. Evocative piece for salivating consideration.
